The Special Olympics Connecticut branch held an event that was not for the faint at heart. Appropriately called Over the Edge, the event sent sixty participants rappelling twenty-two stories off the Infinity Building, which is the newest building in the Harbor Point development in Stamford. Each brave soul had to raise a minimum of $1,000 to rappel and many exceeded this goal. More then $100,000 dollars was raised for the Special Olympics Connecticut, which provides year-round athletic training and competition for over 13,000 athletes and partners in the state of Connecticut. soct.org
